    What an amazing travelogue! I love everything about this post, and how you brought us along with you on your vacation through all these great pictures and sharing your experience. Really fun read!

    Ah, I especially enjoyed this weeks pics Tracy. 20 years ago this June we travelled to California and visited the Monterey Aquarium. My daughter turned 4 years old in Santa Cruz. She is 24 this year and I honest to goodness have no idea where the time went. The picture with the wine made me laugh. We too take lots of wine with us on holiday!

  • erica

    gorgeous pictures! Love to see how you capture the moments. Have a great week talented & lovely lady. ; )
    p.s. table rules! no screens and we have a no singing rule too. ha ha

  • Jean

    What a kickass week, Tracy! You would have had to pry me away kicking and screaming from Monterey. But the rest of your week looked pretty amazing, too!

  • Aysem

    Monterey and that house looks beautiful! Was it an Airbnb rental? We were in Half Moon Bay this morning and want to go back now 🙂

  • Jean

    Were you all in Pajaro Dunes?! We are heading there this Friday for a long weekend with a bunch of family and I am so excited. And planning on a day trip to Monterey for the aquarium also. This has been a crazy week (work, 4 year old birthday party, big life decisions) and I am so excited to get some “introvert time” at the beach. This post made me extra excited, thanks as always for sharing such beautiful and inspiring pictures.

    • Tracy

      We were close! We were in Monterey Dunes 🙂 Hope you have a wonderful trip!

  • Ashlyn @ The Pedantic Foodie

    What a fun week! And fried artichokes?! I think I need them. 😉

  • Yvonne

    Love your pic’s. So beautiful and perfect!

  • ruth

    Loooooved this week the most since start of 2017. So much goodness here! Jealous of your vacay house by the beach. I want to live near the water some day. For now, I settle for our yearly beach vacation in Maine. Only about a 100 days ’til then. Yessss. Have a great week!!!

    • Tracy

      It was definitely a good one. It feels good to get away from home and see new things. I needed it both mentally and creatively!

  • Bethany

    I love your striped dress!!! And that trip to the coast looked a DREAM. I kept “wow”ing to myself as I perused the pics.

  • Rachel

    I love the light in so many of these photos! Also- I need to go on vacation somewhere that has strawberries and fried artichokes on the side of the road. What! Sounds like heaven 🙂

    • Tracy

      It’s so beautiful here in Northern California. You should visit sometime 🙂

  • Jen

    oh my goodness, I need your moms clam linguini recipe please!

  • Michelle @ Leo Sigh

    Wow, your photos are gorgeous. Haven’t seen a site with this many truly beautiful photos Bookmarked for future perusal.

    And yes, you’re right, your Dad does have lovely hair 🙂 That’s a pretty cat on the stool too!

  • Deepanker

    Beautiful photos. Location, placement and timing: Everything is perfect.. Keep up this good work. 🙂

  • Pavitra Shankhdhar

    Great set of photos and will love to see that spectacular part of Monterey Dune. You´ve revealed a side of Monterey Dune that not many people get to see or experience.
    Thanks for sharing!

  • Deepika

    Amazing work Tarcy.
    I love travelling and searching for interesting travelling articles. I love your work. The best part is the fluency. It’s like I was living those moments with you.
